Mounting VirtualBox shared folders on Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver)

This guide will walk you through the steps on how to setup a VirtualBox shared folder inside your Ubuntu Server guest.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes that you are using the following setup:

• Oracle VM VirtualBox version 6.0.10 with Extension Pack installed
• Microsoft Windows 7 SP1 as the host OS
• A fresh install of Ubuntu Server 18.04.2 LTS as the guest OS

You could still make this guide work with other setups (possibly with some modifications to the commands and whatnot).

Background

Web have a node application written in ES6/babel which cannot (yet) be run by the latest stable node engine. Locally we use babel-node to run the application using babel's on-the-fly transpiler; However this is strongly discourages on the production environment (due to memory and performance footprints).

So we would need to transpile our application to the stable ECMA and deploy the artefacts to Azure -- instead of the original app.

Why not use kudu?

Revert the full commit

Sometimes you may want to undo a whole commit with all changes. Instead of going through all the changes manually, you can simply tell git to revert a commit, which does not even have to be the last one. Reverting a commit means to create a new commit that undoes all changes that were made in the bad commit. Just like above, the bad commit remains there, but it no longer affects the the current master and any future commits on top of it.

git revert {commit_id}

About History Rewriting

Delete the last commit

Deleting the last commit is the easiest case. Let's say we have a remote origin with branch master that currently points to commit dd61ab32. We want to remove the top commit. Translated to git terminology, we want to force the master branch of the origin remote repository to the parent of dd61ab32:

Continuous Integration with Jenkins on Amazon EC2

This documented is a slightly adapted version to this one: https://gist.github.com/jsuwo/9038610 by Jeff Shantz. He has a fantastic video series on setting up Jenkins on AWS EC2 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JSOGJQAhtE&feature=youtu.be&ab_channel=JeffShantz

AWS EC2 set-up

• Choose 1-2GB Ubuntu Server
• Create new security group and Enable HTTP (& leave SSH open)
• Launch!

How to rename solutions and projects in Visual Studio

1. Don't.

How to rename solutions and projects that were created in Visual Studio

1. Close Visual Studio and don't open it again until I tell you. Visual Studio is not competent at renaming things.
2. Assuming you're using git, clean the working folder to remove anything that's not in version control (this will help the search-and-replace step because it won't have to go through a bunch of generated files)

git clean -fdx
